According to a league source, Humphries was informed by coach P.J. Carlesimo Wednesday morning that he will no longer be part of the Nets' shortened rotation.

Carlesimo has said in recent days that he wants to limit the rotation to nine or 10 players as the Nets head into the stretch run before the postseason.

The 6'9" forward is averaging 18.4 minutes per game this season, a number that has dwindled substantially since the beginning of the year. He has grabbed 5.9 rebounds per game while scoring 5.5 points per contest.

With Reggie Evans and Brook Lopez set to remain as the starting big men for the Nets, and with Andray Blatche and Teletovic now getting the minutes behind them, the only remaining rotation spot in a 10-man rotation came down to either MarShon Brooks or Kris Humphries. And, when asked directly about Brooks, Carlesimo didn’t hesitate to include him.
“MarShon’s part of the 10, for sure,” Carlesimo said.
